    Hans Knot International Radio Report September 2012 Hi all you out there. How was your summer? Or for those down yonder: How as your winter? Anyway hope you all had a good time. We did some three short trips and during all those days had wonderful weather. Stayed a few days on one of the Dutch Isles, made a five day trip through Ireland and yes we saw ‘The 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour from the Beach Boys in Berlin. Some 9000 people were swinging their way through about 50 songs, which were done by the Beach Boys and their terrific band. http://www.visitberlin.de/en/event/08-03-2012/the-beach-boys Thanks for the mails with memories, reflections and more, which came in during the month of August and again this time a collection of those will be used in this edition of the International Radio Report. First of all an item which didn’t fit into last edition of the report, which is the reflections send in by reader Ian Godfrey from England, who was watching a special on the BBC: ‘It was about DJ Anne Nightingale, who spent much of the programme talking about her influences and the musical policy at the BBC from the end of World War 2 - including their antipathy towards pop music - and it seemed that any reference to the offshore stations was looking very unlikely but then she suddenly mentioned how excited she was on discovering Radio Caroline and the fact that she could hear her favourite records at any time of the day and I got the impression that if it wasn't for her wariness about broadcasting from a ship she would have jumped at the opportunity of working on one of the stations.

Once again thanks for all your e mails with ideas, memories, photos and more. This Christmas will be a very special one as in California the most mentioned person in the reports during the past, let’s say six years, celebrates his birthday and become 70 years! So a very happy birthday and many years in good health to follow! And those who read the report regularly know who has his birthday soon: Hans Knot and Emperor Rosko Photo: Martin van der Ven And it was also Martin Samuel who brought in a memory about Rosko: ‘Hello Hans, when playing drums with Crew, we borrowed Emperor Rosko's blue Ford Transit van for a gig in Ventnor, Isle of Wight the photo attached is when we were boarding the ferry [the Emp. was not on board]. The following morning, 19th December 1971, we met the Brinsley Schwarz band while waiting for the ferry, delayed by rough seas. Neither band was paid by its respective venue for playing the gig! Bye, Martin Samuel.’ Well Martin, thanks a lot for sharing this photo and memory with our readership and don’t forget it was more than 41 years ago the photo was taken. Anyone who want to share a memory, just write to me at [email protected] Next a long story about a short time deejay on the Voice of Peace who his name was written the wrong way and so he wants to mention this in the report: ‘Hi there.

  • The Dutch Radio Day
    The Dutch Radio Day It was in 1978 that Mike Baron and Nick Oakly from Music Radio Promotions asked as few people from the Netherlands, including Hans Knot, to cooperate in a special event called Zeezenders 20, which was held at Noordwijkerhout. Inspired by the Zeezenders 20 happening Rob Olthof from Amsterdam suggested that he, along with Hans, could organise small meetings for offshore radio fans. He made a beginning with the so- called ‘Movie Afternoons’. It was the time when private videos arose and so those 8mm movies, made by offshore radio anoraks, were screened and some discussions were launched. In 1980, Hans Verbaan of the Free Radio Campaign joined in and a group of interested people got together in a small building in Scheveningen harbour on quite a regular basis. These movie afternoons sometimes took place twice a year and it came to a point that there were more people than available chairs. Therefore some bigger locations in cities like Amsterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht and again Amsterdam had to be found. In 1984, the first guests were interviewed including Simon Barrett, Juul Geleick and Tom Mulder. In the meantime, the organising team was growing with Piet Treffers and Tom de Munck joining in. From the late eighties, more people from abroad - most of all Germany and Belgium - attended the event each year. During the nineties, more and more deejays and technicians from former offshore radio stations visited the Radio Days to be interviewed. Our team had been joined by Jelle Boonstra, who did a marvellous job within the Radio Day organisation during a period of 15 years.

  • The Pirates and Pop Music Radio
    SELLING THE SIXTIES Was pirate radio in the sixties a non-stop psychedelic party – an offshore discothèque that never closed? Or was there more to it than hip radicalism and floating jukeboxes? From the mavericks in the Kings Road and the clubs ofSohotothemultinationaladvertisers andbigbusiness boardrooms Selling the Sixties examines the boom of pirate broadcasting in Britain. Using two contrasting models of unauthorized broadcasting, Radios Caroline and London, Robert Chapman situates offshore radio in its social and political context. In doing so, he challenges many of the myths which have grown up around the phenomenon. The pirates’ own story is framed within an examination of commercial precedents in Europe and America, the BBC’s initial reluctance to embrace pop culture, and the Corporation’s eventual assimilation of pirate programming into its own pop service, Radio One. Selling the Sixties utilizes previously unseen evidence from the pirates’ own archives, revealing interviews with those directly involved, and rare audio material from the period. This fascinating look at the relationship between unauthorized broadcasting and the growth of pop culture will appeal not only to students of communications, mass media, and cultural studies but to all those with an enthusiasm for radio history, pop, and the sixties. Robert Chapman’s broadcasting experience includes BBC local radio in Bristol and Northampton. He has also contributed archive material to Radios One and Four. He is currently Lecturer and Researcher in the Department of Performing Arts and Media Studies at Salford College of Technology.

  • 'The Pirate Radio Documentary'
    Hans Knot International Radio Report March 2014 Dear Radio friends, just a few weeks before the Radioday will take place in Amsterdam and Martin and I are very pleased with all the warm emails coming in during the past month. Around 100 former employees from offshore radio stations are coming to CASA 400 on Saturday 22nd of March. Many of them are already arriving on the Friday and we promise you a programme which we never can top again. Many of you visited our internet site during the past months, but for those who didn’t here’s a rundown for that special day: 10:30 - 10:35 Welcome with Hans Knot and Martin van der Ven 'The Pirate Radio Documentary' A video documentary by Wayne Hepler (50 minutes) "Way back in 1989, an excellent professor told me about the radio pirates 10:35 - of the Netherlands - then and now. I thought, "Wow! Pirates have taken 11:25 over! I have to meet them." A mere 23 years later, my sabbatical brought me to Amsterdam, Groningen, Hilversum, London, the Thames, and other communities to interview Hans Knot, Ad Bouman, Hans Hogendoorn, Tineke, Herb Visser, Bob Noakes, Keith Skues, Johnnie Walker, Tony Prince, and other very helpful giants on the subject. Two excellent students and my wife joined me in shooting a video documentary. Now, on Radio Day 2014, the subjects of my documentary get to play critic - how intimidating - and we get to go back to the Netherlands. I hope my documentary is as kind to my hosts as they were to me." Wayne Hepler, Professor, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

  • Hans Knot International Radio Report August 2012
    Hans Knot International Radio Report August 2012 A very good day to you, readers of the international radio report. Thanks for all who gave me input for this edition. It’s summertime in Europe and so this edition will be a bit smaller one than you’re used to. There are some special happenings coming weeks which I first would like to mention. It was Ronny Forslund, who sent me on July 17th an invitation to visit Denmark: ‘Hello Hans, If you haven't yet anything booked for July 31 you are very welcome to join us at the Radio Mercur Revival Day in Dragör, Denmark on July 31st . A number of former Radio Mercur staff members will be gathering at the Dragör Museum where there is a 1950s exhibition and there will be broadcasts of Radio Mercur during the day from 0600 to 2400 local time/CET (0400 to 2200 UTC/GMT). Apart from old Radio Mercur recordings there will also be live broadcasts from the museum. Tage in studio Radio Mercur Photo: Erik Lindhardt The programmes will be broadcast over a temporary transmitter operating on 99.4 MHz on top of the SAS Radisson Hotel in Copenhagen - one of the highest buildings in the city. It is also possible to listen via our web streams which will be announced on www.scandinavianoffshoreradio.com before we start. It would be nice if you could make it, but if not, I hope to see you at this year's Radio Day in Amsterdam. All the best to you, from Stockholm and have a great summer, Ronny Forslund.’ Of course I’ve answered Ronny and thanked him for the very nice invitation.

  • Hail! Hail! Rock'n'roll
    HAIL! HAIL! ROCK’N’ROLL By ALAN THOMPSON Alan Thompson has been presenting and producing Rock’n’Roll shows and documentaries for more than two decades. He owns an operates the Golden Days Archive and Production facility some of which can also be found in broadcasting stations and broadcast museums in the United States and yet, as he tells us in this feature, the idea for the original “Hail! Hail! Rock’n’Roll” shows were only scheduled for six weeks on a local radio station. Today, 21 years later, the programming can still be heard and it is highly likely that wherever you are listening in the UK the chances are something has come from the archive, Alan takes up the story in his own words…. AS Danny and the Juniors once sang “Rock’n’Roll is here to stay. But I doubt even they realised what a poignant statement they were making nearly 50 years ago. I know how they probably feel. A Rock’n’Roll radio programme that was scheduled on the radio for six weeks has since ricocheted and the buds of its family tree are still heard to this day. It was during the summer of 1985 that amongst others things, I had been presenting the perennial “Golden Days” programme on Reading’s ILR station Radio 210. It went out late on Friday nights and at that time there was not all night television, BBC local radio closed down early and relayed Radio 2 which did not serve a “baby boomer” audience at that time of night as it does today and Radio Luxembourg had a poor signal.

    Hans Knot International Radio Report May 2012 We’re almost at the end of the month of April and here in Holland the weather is not the one you’ll expect during this time of the year. So getting the heather on is a normal thing during the evening. However the response on last report gave me also a very warm feeling. Of course it isn’t possible to mention everyone in this issue, so thank you so much for sharing your ideas, news, memories and more. Let’s start with an e mail from Shaun Scannel who give you the reader some advice to subject he likes: ‘Hello Hans, it’s always good to receive your monthly report. Not sure if you ever covered the information from Eric G3PGM about his time on Radio Invicta on the Red Sands fort in the Thames Estuary. The story is here http://www.radarc.org/Newletter/winter99%20-%20PoP%20Pirates.pdf . I just came over it again and although I have read it before it was still good to see again. In the Radio Caroline Mailing list today, we were advised of an RNI video from 1974. RNI Story 1974 documentary recently posted to YouTube, it's been posted there before but this is the full 20 minute documentary and slightly better quality than previous uploads, includes Brian McKensie, Leo van der Goot, Jan Akkerman, Ferry Maat, Robb Eden, Robin Banks, footage of the fire and much more.’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwG0TSo7BvU Thanks Shaun, and indeed the video went around for many years in bad quality and took a long time before a better quality version became free.
